CRC Sponsorship

Chipeta Rising CelebrationJoin the Chipeta Mountain Project and Chipeta's family and tribal leaders for a variety of engaging cultural events to celebrate the name change of Chipeta Mountain.

Sponsorship

Sponsors are invited to support the first annual Chipeta Rising Celebration. This will also be the kick off of the Chipeta Legacy Program, a community education program intent on expanding the knowledge of the valley’s first inhabitants, mountaineering and mountain culture in the Arkansas Valley.

Sponsors may participate at the $50, $100, $250, $500 and $1500 levels (other donor levels available). Descendants of Uncompahgre Ute mediator Chipeta and Chief Ouray will participate in events, which recognize the Utes as the ultimate stewards in this area before white settlers arrived. Modern lifestyles of Utes will also be considered. As Chipeta’s great-great-grandson Roland McCook said, “We are today’s people.”

What an amazing process this has been. Thank you for supporting the Chipeta Mountain Project! On Wednesday, May 10, 2017 we received a message from the USGS Board on Geographic Names in Washington D.C. informing us that the Board of Geographic Names had approved the name change for Chipeta Mountain.
